Wireless communications has gotten one of the quickest developing zones in our advanced life and makes colossal effect on practically every component of our day by day life. 5G should support a large number of new applications with a wide assortment of prerequisites, including higher pinnacle and client information rates, diminished dormancy, improved indoor inclusion, expanded number of gadgets, etc. The normal traffic development in at least a long time from now can be fulfilled by the consolidated utilization of more range, higher spectral efficiency, and densification of cells. The increment in spectral effectiveness will improve the throughput of the system which straightforwardly serves the Enhanced Mobile Broad band use instance of the 5G assistance. In massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (M-MIMO) systems few hundred quantities of antennas are conveyed at each base station (BS) to serve a moderately modest number of single-reception apparatus terminals with multiuser, giving higher information rate and lower idleness. Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output is the arising innovation in cell system for higher information rate correspondence. It utilizes enormous number of communicating reception apparatus at the base station which is made conceivable by the radio wire cluster which can be electronically steerable and adequately utilized for shaft framing. Spectral proficiency is the vital boundary to be improved in expanding throughput. The system execution under different commonsense limitations and conditions, for example, restricted soundness block length, number of base station (BS) antennas, and number of dynamic clients are assessed through simulation.

<p>Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are considered a promising solution to minimize multiuser interference (MUI) based on simple precoding techniques with a massive antenna array at a base station (BS). This paper presents a novel approach of beam division multiple access (BDMA) which BS transmit signals to multiusers at the same time via different beams based on hybrid beamforming and user-beam schedule. With the selection of users whose steering vectors are orthogonal to each other, interference between users is significantly improved. While, the efficiency spectrum of proposed scheme reaches to the performance of fully digital solutions, the multiuser interference is considerably reduced.</p>

The demand for higher data rates can be satisfied by the spectral efficiency (SE) improvement offered by Massive multiple-input multiple-output (M-MIMO) systems. However, the pilot contamination remains as a fundamental issue to obtain the paramount SE in such systems. This propitiated the research of several methods to mitigate pilot contamination. One of these procedures is based on the coordination of the cells, culminating in proposals with multiple pilot training phases. This paper aims to expand the results of the original paper, whereby the concepts of large pilot training phases were offered. The evaluation of such method was conducted through more comprehensible numerical results, in which a large number of antennas were assumed and more rigorous SE expressions were used. The channel estimation approaches relying on multiple pilot training phases were considered cumbersome for implementation and an uninteresting solution to overcome pilot contamination; contradicting the results presented in the genuine paper.

<span>Massive internet of things (IoT) in 5G has many advantages as a future technology. It brings some challenges such as a lot of devices need massive connection. In this case, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems offer high performance and capacity of communications. There is a challenge of correlation between antennas in MIMO. This paper proposes three-sectors MIMO base station antenna for 5G-New Radio (5G-NR) band N77 with dual polarized configuration to reduce the correlation. The proposed antenna has a maximum coupling of -16.90 dB and correlation below 0.01. The obtained bit error rate (BER) performance is very close to non-correlated antennas with bandwidth of 1.87 GHz. It means that the proposed antenna has been well designed.</span>

This chapter introduces the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) as a practical means of approaching the high spectral efficiency theoretically promised by multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. It investigates the AMC MIMO systems in a generic framework and gives a quantitative analysis of the multiplexing gain of these systems. The effects of imperfect channel state information (CSI) on the AMC MIMO systems are pointed out. In the context of imperfect CSI, a design of robust near-capacity AMC MIMO system is proposed and its good performance is verified by simulation results. The proposed adaptive system is compared with the non-adaptive MIMO system, which shows the adaptive system approaches the channel capacity closer.

Background: The paper considers the wireless system with large number of users (more than 50 users) and each user is assigned large number of antennas (around 200) at the Base Station (BS). Objective: The challenges associated with the defined system are increased power consumption and high complexity of associated circuitry. The antenna selection is introduced to combat these problems while the usage of linear precoding reduces computational complexity. The literature suggests number of antenna selection techniques based on statistical properties of signal. However, each antenna selection technique suits well to specific number of users. Methods: In this paper, the random antenna selection is compared with norm-based antenna selection. It is analysed that the random antenna selection leads to inefficient spectral efficiency if the number of users are more than 50 in Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) system. Results: The paper proposes the optimization of Energy-Efficiency (EE) with random transmit antenna selection for large number of users in MU-MIMO systems. Conclusion: Also the computation leads to optimization of number of transmit antennas at the BS for energy efficiency. The proposed algorithm results in improvement of the energy efficiency by 27% for more than 50 users.

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless communication technology is expected to improve the channel capacity over the limited bandwidth of existing networks. Since urban MIMO systems have complex propagation characteristics, the channel capacity cannot be estimated using a simple method. Hence, we introduce channel capacity characteristics to urban MIMO systems by using a combination of imaging and ray-launching methods as a ray-tracing scheme. A simulation based on these methods with variable parameters can reproducibly estimate various urban propagation characteristics and discriminate the effects of the urban model and antenna configurations. The characteristics of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), the channel capacity, the spatial correlation, as well as the path visibility are then determined from the results of the simulation. The parameter called path visibility introduced in our previous study is considered again herein. We clarify that only this single parameter can be used to determine the channel capacity characteristics in urban MIMO scenarios. This parameter also provides guidance in determining the appropriate range for the base station (BS) height.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the optimization of two tilt angles corresponding to two antenna arrays in each base station (BS) of a massive multiple-input multiple-output system. We consider two scenarios with perfect channel state information (CSI) and imperfect CSI. In the limit of the number of the BS antennas, the channel orthogonality is employed to derive the limit and the lower bound of the throughputs. By maximizing the lower bound or the limit throughput, the two antenna tilt angles are optimized. Simulation results show that the throughput performance can be improved with the designed tilt angles.

To achieve the advantages provided by massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), a large number of antennas need to be deployed at the base station. However, for the reason of cost, inexpensive hardwares are employed in the realistic scenario, which makes the system distorted by hardware impairments. Hence, in this paper, we analyze the downlink spectral efficiency in distributed massive MIMO with phase noise and amplified thermal noise. We provide an effective channel model considering large-scale fading, small-scale fast fading and phase noise. Based on the model, the estimated channel state information (CSI) is obtained during the pilot phase. Under the imperfect CSI, the closed-form expressions of downlink achievable rates with maximum ratio transmission (MRT) and zero-forcing (ZF) precoders in distributed massive MIMO are derived. Furthermore, we also give the user ultimate achievable rates when the number of antennas tends to infinity with both precoders. Based on these expressions, we analyze the impacts of phase noise on the spectral efficiency. It can be concluded that the same limit rate is achieved with both precoders when phase noise is present, and phase noise limits the spectral efficiency. Numerical results show that ZF outdoes MRT precoder in spectral efficiency and ZF precoder is more affected by phase noise.

In this paper, we investigate the spectral efficiency (SE) of a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) antenna network in full-duplex (FD) regime, where uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) users simultaneously share the same time and frequency resources. Zero-forcing approach is applied efficiently to precode/detect signals in both UL and DL. To achieve the SE maximization, we formulate an optimized problem where the transmit power of Base station (BS) and users are jointly considered. Numerical results are used to show that the proposed algorithm may bring significant SE gain over the previous approaches under realistic channel conditions.

5G Communications will support millimeter waves (mm-Wave), alongside the conventional centimeter waves, which will enable much higher throughputs and facilitate the employment of hundreds or thousands of antenna elements, commonly referred to as massive Multiple Input–Multiple Output (MIMO) systems. This article proposes and studies an efficient low complexity receiver that jointly performs channel estimation based on superimposed pilots, and data detection, optimized for massive MIMO (m-MIMO). Superimposed pilots suppress the overheads associated with channel estimation based on conventional pilot symbols, which tends to be more demanding in the case of m-MIMO, leading to a reduction in spectral efficiency. On the other hand, MIMO systems tend to be associated with an increase of complexity and increase of signal processing, with an exponential increase with the number of transmit and receive antennas. A reduction of complexity is obtained with the use of the two proposed algorithms. These algorithms reduce the complexity but present the disadvantage that they generate a certain level of interference. In this article, we consider an iterative receiver that performs the channel estimation using superimposed pilots and data detection, while mitigating the interference associated with the proposed algorithms, leading to a performance very close to that obtained with conventional pilots, but without the corresponding loss in the spectral efficiency.
